    New buggy

    Picked this up a week ago. 2021. Mule trans. 617cc. Wish I could afford a cab, but for 5k, it'll wait.

    Few things are doing good

    Potatoes and cabbage are loving the cool wet summer. My onions, not so much.

    New saw

    Pulled the trigger on a new J-red 2258. Traded the Solo in with the deal. Told my dealer I had been looking at the 2255, and he shook his head side to side and said they're junk. Has one in right now that's only a year old, and it leaks like a sieve between the cases. He won't even carry the...

    Jonsered saws

    Looking to get a J-red cs2255. Reading reviews on TSC, Most of the negatives were oil leaking out of the oil tank just sitting. Just wondering on their quality now that Tractor Supply is selling them. I'll purchase it from my local dealer first, and I know he'll take care of any problems. Anyone...

    026 carb issue

    Have an 026. Not an AV, but not the pro because it doesn't have a decomp. Problem is the carb mix needles aren't staying adjusted. Adjustment lasts about 5 minutes and they've moved and it runs like crap. Just wondering if I can get new springs or if the plastic piece the springs screw into has...

    Got a sweet deal!

    Went to a local consignment auction last saturday and picked up '48 Farmall cub for $700. Nice shape. Rear tires and rims were nearly new. Wasn't running when I bought it. Went and picked it up the other day. Jump started it but wouldn't stay running. Wasn't charging the battery. Got it home, we...

    husky cd480

    Can anyone give me some info on this saw? When they were made, cc's, etc. Have one in fair shape. Didn't know whether to put in new piston and rings, or part it out if parts aren't readily available.

    Amish loggers

    Neighbor is having his property timbered. Doing some right now behind my father's house. Looked out the window, as they are next to the property line, and nothing but flat-hatters working. No ppe, just straw hats and suspenders. Most likely sub-contracted and cheap. But on the other hand, for...

    Crank seal question

    Pulled the crank out of the Echo cs-400 I'm working on. Replaced everything but the crank seals because it seems to have fuel issues. Only thing left to replace that might be the problem. And the way these seals are designed, could understand why because when it got straight-gassed, the amount...

    064 problems. Need help

    Been on here a while. Now I need some info. Rebuilding an 064. Used an aftermarket piston and rings. New crank seals. Crank bearings seem in good shape. The problem is when the counterweight on the crank comes up, the piston skirt is bottoming out on the counterweight. Is this from it being...

    wood question

    Have a stand of scotch pine that's getting past it's prime. Not rotted or anything. Lot of them falling. Wanted to remove the standing ones. Is this kind of pine worth milling for anything or just garbage?

    going solo

    Got some tops hung up with the 80 horse 4030, then couldn't get the chain undone from around them, so headed back to get the solo 656, which I was going to take in the first place(#*$% CRS). Didn't get real excited. Burned a tank of fuel, then loaded the old man's 2520 up with some and took it...

    Who Was It?

    Went to TSC this afternoon to get the bar oil that was on sale. None left. Said a guy came in and bought 10 cases of it. I know it's someone on here! :msp_tongue: No biggie. Said it will be on sale 'til the end of September. $7 a gallon. Figured I would stock up.

    Metal hydraulic lines

    Anyone here know where to get metal hydraulic lines? Like brake line, only bigger? Don't know if your skidders have any on them or not. Can get hydraulic hose anywhere, but no one seems to have the metal lines. Front end loaders have them on the loader arms going to the bucket. Building a front...

    Refund for Makita 6401

    Some good E-bay news. They refunded my money from seller in Brazil that never shipped the saw. He responded after E-bay notified me of my refund. Too bad I don't speak Spanish. Might know what he actually said.
